Customer Reviews
Somewhat Informative, but several errors
I did learn a few things from this book, but not significantly so over my internet research. I would have liked to have read more about the process of selling koi as a business.
This book could use another pass of proof reading. There were many instances of grammatical and spelling errors.
Additionally there were several informational inaccuracies. The most notable was the author's confusion between Nitrite and Nitrate, a very basic fact regaining the nitrogen cycle. Nitrites are poisonous to fish, and must be controlled by water changes, where Nitrates in reasonable levels are normal, and are consumed by plants in the pond.
Lastly in a few instances water temperatures were referenced in Celsius, then sometimes in Fahrenheit, which made it hard to understand without a conversion calculator.
Aside from these issues, this is a good (but basic) discussion about getting a started in a Koi keeping, but little about actually selling them.
